Why the Army Should Be Increased— Why the Soldiers Are Entitled to Con- sideration—W hy Indian Disturbances Are Not so Frequent as Heretofore— Court Martial Reforms Suggested, Etc. GEN. Gen. Sherman has submitted to the Secretary of War his report for the past year. He says that the limit of 25,000 enlisted men for the army is fixed by law, but the’fear of exceeding this limit, or the difficulty of enltsting men in these prosper- ous times, has kept the army below what the hon- or or the necessity of the country demands, and he most earnestly advises that the limit be changed to 30,000, not with the expectation of Teaching that Limit, but to approximate 1t and thereby make the army more efficient without material increase of the cost. The experience of the world {s that of an organized army not more than 66 per cent can be had for actual bat- Ue or field service, and as experience demonstrates that 25,000 soldiers are needed for the wants of the country, a number isasked for wich Will produce that result. At ent our solliers are overworked; the compa- Te too small for discipline or decent appear- ance, and he thinks that the army has earned, by active service, this amount of consideration from the country. ‘The reports of the department generals are sub- mitred with the report of tue General of the Army, who says, In referring to them, that the military history ahd changes of the p: e been most happily uneventful and pe wholly Want of cause but becaus 2 Was clos at hand in each instance to reach and pun- pre ish the distur There have been fewer Indian disturba in the great west than in any of the past twenty years, partly owing to the precautions tak-n by the proper offi- cers, but in a larze measure due to the unexampled lopment of the railroads in that, region, the consequent rapidity of settlement by rat and grazers, who are generally prepared to defend their own property. ‘Tits is the real cause of the great prosperity which now blesses our country. General Sherman thinks that the regular army has done its full share in accomplishing thls re- sult, and claims for them a share in its fruits, troops during this transition period have in holes in the ground, in houses made of ‘n cotton wood logs, inf by vermin, in porary shanties, generally without murmur, but now this battle with poverty 1s over or nearly so, and he APPEALS TO CONGRESS FOR GENEROUS TREATMENT, for decent quarters for officers and men, to repeal the law which forbids anything but temporary shelters at our frontier posts, and to confer on the President, the Seeretary of War, or on a board of general officers, the power to designate the places | of strategie Importance at which to erect suitable permanent buildings for quartering properly the troops of the Unite States; in the enforcement: of statute law, compulsory on the army, and in the muintaining discipline, without which an army would be a nutsance. RECOMMENDATIONS AS TO TRIAL BY COURTS MARe TIAL. According to the report of the Judge Advocate General there have been 1,797 cases of trial by courts martial among the enlisted men during the past year. On this subject, Gen. Sherman says: “It is notorious in the army that 90 of these cases in the 100 are for stmple disorders, which, in civil life, are punished by a magistrate without a Jury. A court martial is both judge and jury. The easlest correction for this condition of facts rests with Congress, and not with the army, The law is in fault, forthe men we enlist are the best we can get for the price paid. I believe the price fs iIberal, when we consider the fact that a soldier 1s in any’ vent fed, clothed and reasonsbiy maintained at the cost of the government. ‘The minimum pay ($13 per month) being in fact pocket money, and is ihe only hold we have oa hiin for fines ‘and for- feltures.

A book of record shi be kept subject to the inspection of the department: commander, aad of any authorized inspector gene- Tal. This simple provision wili obviate the neces- sity for 30 many trials wich are now a scandal to the country. General courts martial will, however, continue to be necessary for more serious offenders, ander the articles of war,and for the trial of offers; and here I invite your attention to the report of General MeDowell, who instances how we cling to ald notions prohibiting courts-martial from sitting after 3 o'clock p.m., because a hundred years ago, in England, officers were wont to dine and get crunk at that hour. Now, we dine when we can, keep sober all the time, and there is no reason why courts-martial should not sit all night if necessary reach a verdict, the same as a civil jury.” ‘THE CONSOLIDATED REPORT OF CASUALTIES for the past year also exhibits a loss to the armg by desertion of 3,721. This, taken in connection with the number of enlistments and re-enlist ments (7,340), is a most serious matter, occasion reat loss of money to the government’ and call for & speedy remedy, if possil THE CAUSES OF DESERTION, as exhibited by record of trials, are various, but the chief one is that most of the recruits enlist in New York or the larger cities, and are transported at the cost of the United States to the west, where by desertion at lUttle risk of capture and punish- ment they obtain the highest wages, The remedy wilt, in his beltef, be found in a more liberal treat- ment of a good soldfer and a more certain punish- ment of the deserter.

I would be perfectly willing in trials for desertion to submit the case of each deserter to a jury of his own fellow-soldiers, In any eventI invite your close attention to this whole subject, believing 1t to be of vital importance to the interests of our military establishment.” The report observes that the general character of the recruits to-day Is better than It was twenty Years ago.

Hemmed In by Ice. ENGINEER MELVILLE’S ACCOUNT OF HOW THE JEAN- NEITE CREW PASSED THEIR TIME. ‘The examination of Chief Engineer Melville was resumed this morning before the Jeannette board of Inquiry. Witness. continued: The winter of 1879 and 1880 passed quietly, with the usual rou- Une of occupations and amusements. The officers employed nearly all their time in reading when off duty, usually after dinner and supper. ‘There was ageneral conversation among the officers upon religion, politics and other subjects. The gene- ral tone of the messes was very pleasant, and there was less of disagreement. among the officers in the Jeannette mess than In most of those I have been In during my 21 years’ service in the navy. On Sundays we had a better dinner than usual. It seemed to be the desire of the commanding officer (who messed with us) to bring on a general con- Yersation, and we would discuss almost anything that happeneil to be uppermost in our thoughts. In the first part of the crulse the captain, the doc- tor, Mr. Collins and Mr. Dunbar and occasionally Mr. Chipp would play cards for amusement. T hever played esrds, never knew how and don’t know now. During’the day tlie any person, oM- cer or seaman, might take his gun and hunt over the floe for any distance, the only restriction being to be on board ship by sundown or at the dropping of the ball at the must-head. ARCTIO HUNTING. During the winter time the hunters shot a num- ber of bears. I belleve Mr. Dunbar was accredited with the greatest number, Fireman Bartlett and Seaman Ninderman being the most persistent hunters. I belleve they were accredited with the greatest number of seals and walrus. The most Of the seal and walrus, however, were obtainod in the spring and fall. About the middle of March the sun commenced to get pretty strong, the snow was removed from the ship’s sides and a trench dug all the way around the ship to ease her incase she should attempt to rise, as she would naturally do, being lightened by the amount of coal and pro- vistons which had been used during the winter. We found as spring approached and the ship loosened In her bed, she invarlably arose In the water. About March 18, 1880, wo had shifted so far to the southward and’ eastward as to bring the mountain peaks of Wrangel Land in sight. ADRIFT WITH THE ICE. mention this fact to show that the drift was not continuously ¢o the northward, but that the whole floe was found to be drifting at various times to all points of the compass, apparently governed by the winds and currents, During the month of March the weather was disagreeable, and there was much fog. After April Ist. thé spring and summer routines were enforced. Such as changing the meal hours, and the exercise on the ice Was discontinued. ‘The weather belng fine it was natural to suppose that the people would take sufficient exercise at all times to maintain good bodily health. In the spring the store rooms were broken out, the blige putnp was removed from the engine room and placed in the fireman's hatch aft ‘The ship being set by the storm, the water that had accumulated there was puinped out. I would here state that I had orders from the commanding officer to attend to the heatiny the quarters of the ofMicers and men, and those orders were during the winter time to maintain a temperature of 60 Fahrenheit as steadlly as pos- ‘sible. SAVING COAL. Towards the latter part of May the fires in the stovesinthe cabin and forecastle were discontin- ued between 9a.m.and6p,m. To avold the ex- penditure of coal in the galley, the tea water was heated on the cabin and forecastie stoves. About the 1st of June the deck was cleared up, the ship Was painted, the running gear was attended to, and the ship got ready for sea. About July Ist long leads of water commenced to make In all directions, but none making directly in toward the ship. It was impossible to travel more than a mile in any direction without the use of a boat or, as the hunters managed It, by paddling across the leads of water ona piece of ice. About this time Mr. Chipp and the Captain discussed the possibility of Diasting the {ce between the ship and the nearest lead to which the ship could be Worked, and the conclusion they came to was that there Was not powder enough in the ship to effect it. * MAKING TORPEDOES Mr. Chipp was directed to make torpedoes. He devised fuses and Insulated wire for torpedo pur- poses, to be used with what powder he had pro- vided, the leads made closer to the ship. Later in the season the ice thawed astern of us, making a short lead nearly at right angles t6 the Hne or the ship, but not leading into any of the main leads. The ship's fore-foot was resting on alarge sunken foe piece, which was supposed at the time might strain the ship and open the old wound in her fore-foot. An effort was made to heave the ship astern into the open water. An immense mass of tce was removed from under her counters, the ple Working up to their waists in water.” Finally the ship was hove astern a short distance, the large floe plece rising under her bows. ‘The Shi settled down on nearly an even keel, and the leak tn the bow was closely watched. It'was found to have increased much. As there was still a plece of ice under her forefoot, It was thought best to let the ship lay as she was. Witness thought from what he had read of other Arctic ships that the Jeannett» might be considered a dry ship. Toward the latter part of August the propeller was put in pisee, and the ship and engines were gotten ready in cuse the floe should break up. paved lea Stanat Corrs CHaNnces.—The following changes in the stations and duties of enlisted men of the signal corps of the United States army are ordered: First-class Private Clarence Weaver, on duty at Cairo, IL, will proceed and report for duty to Ser- geant William Line in charge of station at MIl- Waukee, Wis. ; Sergeant Joseph E.

Messrs. James L. Barbour, Frank Hume, George Holmes and a large number of Itquor dealers, res- taurant keepers and merchants waited upon the Commissioners to-day at noon. Mr. Barbour stated the object of the interview to be to defl- nitely ascertain what course the Commis- sloners intended to pursue in the matter of granting Mcenses, He stated that he thought where a person had fully compiled with the law the —_iicense should ~—not be withheld, The main question in discussion was the power of the Commisstoners to clos a restaur- ant Within 400 feet of a school building, especially At the proprietor had been located ther’ for years with the consent of the residents and property owners, and had not violated the law. Mr. Bar- bour argued that the Commissioners might refuse toallow any restaurant to be located within 400 feet of a school building in the future,but those now doing business within that limit, especially if they were located prior to the erection of the school building, should not be compelied to remove. ‘The Commissioners entered freely into the discussion, Gen, West stated that there were other Interests at stake besides the liquor dealers. The morals of the community, the best interests of the city and the education of the rising generation were to be considered. He showed that out of 500 or more a) plications which had been fled only 32 had been rejected as being within the proscribed limit. ‘Ih his judgment not more than a total of 40 would be rejected on this ground among all the restaurants in the city. This was only about 10 per cent. Mr, Hume answered that even this ten per cent had rights. Gen. West replied that it was a ques- tion whether the interests of the city were not bet- ter subserved by making this number seek other localities than by letting them remain. ‘The ques- tion of the time which should be allowed these Parties to remove was also considered, but no defi- nite action taken.

Dispatch to Philadelphia Times. New York, Nov. 6—Well, we have seen heron the boards and behind the footlights. Now, then, let us judge her asa beauty and asan artist. Is Mrs Langtry an extremely beautiful woman, and is she a great actress? Decidedly no. Sie ts nelther agreat beauty nor a great artist. For all that she had a welcome to-night that might well gratify the self-esteem of any human being and a | reception as I never saw awarded an actor, how- | ever pronounced a favorite he or she might have been. Long prior to the opening of the massive doors of Wallack's Theater every seat In the recently furnished house was sold and a majority of Urem ata premium. Early in the evening—that ts, at a quarter to 8 o’clock—the streets in the neighbor- hood were blocked with carrlages, [have soen | many smashes and mashes, but this discounted the best and the worst. That given the Prince of Wales in 1860 was a beggarly show in comparison, The Japanese Embassy’s reception was not marker to it and the several Prosidentia levees here and there, with the lying In state at the City Hall of Abraham Lincoln and Horace Greeley, didn’t come within a mile and a half of’ the popular entiusiasm and the pudlic demonstration this evening. Lester Wallack and Theodore Moss, dressed within an Inch of their lives, met Henry E. Abbey and corps of alds and assistants clad in regulation toggery at the door at half-past seven, at whicl hour the floral tributes began to arrive. I may | err a trifle, but If T do It 1s below the actual figure, when I say that according to the florists’ valuation the crosses, crowns, wreat8, ships, Daskets and Douquets of flowers with which the lobby was packed and crowded were worth not less than $1,500, and that 1s a great deal of money, even for fiorists In November. They looked beauliful, and one could hardly refrain from the wish that & one might actually be benefitted by their frag- Tance and charm. A new kind of rose, the capu- cin, a kind of hybrid, a blending of the pink und yellow, Was the favorite, cheexquisite lot of which cost 168 Mberal donor $150. ‘The house at eight o'clock was a mass of beauty. Every box was packed and every seat w Aled, while the great space back of the parquet an dress circle was thronged with men in evening dress and eager for the appearance of the Lily from abroad. ‘The curtain rose at a quarter past eight and the earlier scenes passed slowly apd tediously enough. Mrs. Langtry, as Hester, came on about half-past eight and was made the recipl- ent of an idiotic outburst of applause before she had spoken a word. She showed her pretty teeth and stailed a pleasant recognition. Her features in repose are not shapely, her figure tsup and down, her arms are homely and her elbows are Knobby. When she smiles she displays two rows of perfect teeth. Her voice ts low, well modulated and very sweet. She has in the first act a series of domestic scenes and an offer of marriage, and at the close an opportunity for a touch of ‘mel- odramatic pathos, so that It was quite possible to estimate her ariistic ability at an early period. She 1s decidedly not a great actress, but belongs to the Agnes Ethel lovey-dovey school, winsome and attractive. I tte a dozen handsow men on the stage, and tn the audience there sat Htty who need not dread comparison. At the end of the first act there were repeated calls, after one of which an immense seven-story flower piece was sent to Mrs. Langtry, as were others. Mr. Abbey wes brought before the curtain and recetred a tremendous Welcome. Oscar Wilde made hin.self conspicuous, a8 usual, and made second act afforded Mrs. Langtry better oppor- tunity for her specialty of womanly tenderaess, and earned a decided recall after the scene with the female villain of the play, as well as a double call before the curtain, when’ the usual floral ex- hibition was continued. The third act was thoroughly enjoyable and disclosed Mrs. Langtry inan assumption of worldly sheen that brought down the house. Her delivery of the tag was arch and pretty, and the applause which followed it juine and hearty. Mr. Abbey feels entirely cer- in of great success in the future, and his predic- lion that Langtry would be a go Would seem to be well based. — Virginia trems.
